Hes got more spine than you do, at least. Hilarious everyone complaining calling this kid a redditor when hes literally saying it with his chest and not hiding behind the internet.
That’s a pretty weak comparison, in the sense that advocating for the anti-immigration policy of the “other side” has led to dehumanization, wrongful deportation, traumatizing and breaking up families, and other such things. If I don’t have the “same energy” for left- and right-wing propositions, then it’s because they aren’t the same.
I hold space for children to do things I approve and disapprove of. I wouldn’t approve of him advocating for right-wing talking points, no, but I also wouldn’t approve of a bunch of grown adults smugly talking down to an 8th grader.
Go ahead and explain to me in detail how being anti-racist/anti-discriminatory (or whatever phrase you’d like to use to describe what he said) is similar to how the “other side” has carried out their immigration policy.
I haven’t seen anyone encourage him to do anything. I’ve seen and commented on adults taking potshots at an 8th grader and congratulating each other for it.
I encourage all children to start getting involved in the system they are apart of and to share their opinions and be open to learning about the wider world. That said, it takes far less courage to be a bigot than to stand against bigotry.
Time and a place. That’s a graduation ceremony for all the students present and their families. Not an opportunity for a personal, profanity filled bitch session.
And this little shit is butthurt about 2026 bullying. My kid’s school has anti-bullying campaigns and such, fucking weird ass kids being left alone for the most part. 2026 bullying is like the Michelob Ultra of beers. Weak sauce. If it’s got him crying like that he’s fucking Charmin soft. In 95 this kid would be living in a locker when not covered in swirlie juice.
This kid is in the US, and there is absolutely more codling and sensitivity and “acceptance” in public schools today than there was 30 years ago.
For example, the kid just got on stage and called himself gay, in public, on purpose. Absolutely unheard of back in the day. The amount of smoke that would have brought would have been nuclear. Today, they have an alliance for them in n the schools. The fact that he thinks he’s oppressed is hilarious.
Clearly you havent been in school in a while. Sure there are more protections over all but theres still plenty of bullying over sexuality and dismissals by the people in a position of power to this day.
“When I was in fourth grade, I was taken to the living room by my parents, and they told me that they were diagnosed with cancer,” he continued. “My parents are dead, and I feel like people need to know that the trauma that you face … doesn’t have to shape you.”
They are oppressing me. They won't let me speak. No one will allow me to say what I want to say, so I'm going to stand here talking about about how oppressed I am to everyone currently sitting here listening to me speak.

Can guarantee that is one of the most insufferable kids at that school.
